Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from premium T10 steel, the blade of the Katana Ray is renowned for its high carbon content, delivering exceptional hardness and remarkable cutting power. The expertly crafted hamon, achieved through meticulous heat treatment, enhances the blade’s striking appearance while showcasing its resilience and longevity. This fusion of strength and artistry makes the blade equally suited for practical use and display purposes.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The finely sculpted copper tsuba is a perfect blend of tradition and practicality. Designed to offer reliable hand protection, it also absorbs impact effectively during use. Copper, chosen for its malleability and durability, adds a touch of timeless elegance to the Katana while ensuring long-lasting strength and performance.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, lacquered in a deep blue hue and adorned with a textured pattern resembling ray skin, symbolises both durability and grace. The high-gloss lacquer finish protects the scabbard from external elements, ensuring lasting beauty and functionality. This unique design not only provides excellent blade protection but also creates a distinctive and tactile appearance, making it an integral part of the Katana’s overall aesthetic.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine white shagreen (ray skin), the tsuka offers exceptional durability and a secure, non-slip grip, critical for precision handling during cutting techniques. The textured surface of the shagreen ensures maximum control and comfort. Subtle copper menuki are discreetly positioned beneath the wrap, adding a refined decorative touch while contributing to the overall balance of the weapon. Traditional bamboo mekugi securely anchor the blade, preserving its structural integrity.
